Day 48 of looking at books through the lens of #CriticalSystemsThinking

Day 47 of looking at books through the lens of #CriticalSystemsThinking

💡 #AGLafley #PlayingToWin defines the strategy cascade:

2. Where to play
3. How to win
4. Capabilities
5. Management systems
Each step depends on clarity & choices made at the previous one.
